Right AKA pre- (left) and post- (right) targeted reinnervation. Left: The common peroneal and tibial nerve components of sciatic nerve as well as motor nerve targets (blue loops around target motor nerves) were identified. The posterior nerve of the thigh was also identified and length preserved but not visible in this image. Right: The following nerve coaptations were performed: (1) common peroneal nerve component to a motor branch of the biceps femoris; (2) the tibial nerve component to a motor branch of the semitendinosis; (3) the posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh to another motor branch to the biceps femoris. AKA, above knee amputation. To see this illustration in color, the reader is referred to the web version of this article at www.liebertpub.com/wound
